I have had the same problem. Have you tried optimizing your blogs with keyword phrases? Blog each day and aim for a different set of keywords in each post.Also, submit to blog directories. Could a group of you with similar businesses comment on each others blogs? Also, commenting on blogs and forums should help. Hope this is some useLinda

For noticed your blog place the link and description of your blog in your signature, so that any posts to Forums, Outgoing Emails, Autoresponder Courses, etc, will promote your blog. And Post a link and description of your blog on each of your sites.

Have you tried Technorati? It's a good place to advertise your blog. You can also post links to it on Yahoo Answers on topics related to your blog, but use that only sparingly otherwise, it might be considered spam. You can also advertise on Craigslist.

You need to build links if you want to get noticed by search engines, but if you just want to get noticed in your niche, then I've got a great idea for you. It works really well for more general type blogs.

- Make a list of the 10 blogs that you like most and where your readers hang out all the time.- Write the best article you've ever written and contact the blog owners - asking them to publish your post. Don't include any backlinks.- When they do publish your post, ask them for a guest blogging spot on their blog. Most of the mega blogs have several guest bloggers. As a guest blogger you can have a little blurb at the end of each one of your posts. As you start building your fanbase they will start "migrating" to your blog.

It's quite a slow process, but if you are a good writer or a real expert in your field, the this works like a bomb.

Try Technorati and advertise everywhere you can. Submit your URL to Google, Digg, Yahoo, Backflip and so on. It takes about 6 months of posting at least twice a day for Google to really recognize your blog. Also, stick to a niche and provide quality content prospects would be attracted to. Hope that helps.

All seems good, but I won't recommend manually submitting to search engines. It's much better to let them find you and if you build links they will find you.

make sure you draw up a list of high traffic keyphrases, then research them in terms of competition.

Use google adwords, wordtracker or overture for your research. Then optimize your site for each of the best keyphrases using - article submission, press release articles, social bookmarking, blog posting, forum signatures, classified ads etc.

Are you part of any social sites? MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, etc.? Whenever you make a blog post make a mention of it. You could also join some forums that deal with things your blog deals with and put the blog link in your signature. Then just enjoy the forum and when you have something to ad or a question to ask do, and your link will be there for people to see.

This would definitely help. Leaving useful comments on other blogs can give you enough backlinks and if other reader like it they may click on the link and go to your site.
